PRAYER REQUESTS

•  Ashley Baker: “Pray for my nephew, Khyse who is 6 years old. He had an episode at school Wednesday where he went limp and unresponsive. Then he woke up as if nothing happened. He is going to see a neurologist in April. Please keep him in your prayers. 

•  Gerry Binford: “Please pray for Jared Elderidge, the son of Jackie Elderidge, as he is going through some struggles. Please give her strength and peace as she tries to help him.”

•  Stacey Condron: “Please pray for my nephew, Michael Condron, like many young adults during this pandemic he is struggling daily with depression and isolation. Pray also for in-laws, John and Annette, to seek God’s wisdom as they try and help Michael through these struggles. Pray for Michael to seek God’s peace and guidance and pray that Patrick and I also seek God’s wisdom as we try and help them. Thank you.”

•  Jill Howell: “My cousin and her sisters are known to some from way back at West Huntsville in her childhood to Harding days. Lana Cowart then to Lana Bawcom and now Lana Holman. Her husband of 40+ years died maybe 6 years ago. She married again and has been married maybe 5 years to Jeff Holman. They were here for Reece's wedding shower. Jeff is a talker and I saw him chatting it up with many of you. Shockingly Friday March 19^th Lana woke up to find Jeff had died in the night. As many mentioned at his service Jeff took a long time and had to study hard and question but he finally became a believer so there is comfort in that. The last few years have dealt Lana many blows. Over the last 10 or so years just when it seems she is on the track to stability the rug is pulled out again. She is definitely a strong believer. As our assemblies have been in James and prayer, I must ride on the coat tail and ask you pray for her emotional health, her present situation, and the future situation this has placed her in.”

•  Grant Ralph: “Please pray for a close friend I have in Massachusetts. Her name is Robyn. She has cervical cancer and will probably have to have surgery soon.”

•  Tom and Selwyn Reynolds: “Please continue to pray for Regina Ralston as she continues to have tests as she awaits surgery on her foot.”

•  James Ryans: “Please keep Mishaella Ryans and her family in your prayers. Mishaella’s father is in a hospital in Port St. Lucie, FL after he was found unresponsive. His heart had stopped. He was resuscitated; however, is still unresponsive at this time.” (Update: Mishaella's dad had a heart attack in Port St. Lucie, FL where he was working at the time. "They are being told that he had the heart attack as a result of Pulmonary Embolism. They are treating the clots that resulted in the embolism and monitoring him. He is stable, but still critical.")

•  Please keep Lee Strickland in your prayers as he has started cancer treatment. Please pray that the infusion, which he will receive every 3 weeks, will work with no or few side effects.

•  Louise Williams: “My friend, Ellen Horgan’s breast cancer has returned. She will be scheduled for surgery in the near future. I don’t have a date yet, but will keep you posted.”

•  Our Shut-ins: Bobbye Ashley, Amelia Biser, Deborah Brown, Jamie Cole, Claudia Ford, Joan Hacker, Rachel Johnson, Ted Moore, Johnny Powell, Lee Strickland, and Bill & Sherill Townsley.

•  Mothers-In-Waiting: Heidi Haviland (5/5) and Anna Mosley (5/17).

•  Our Missionaries: Denisovs & Rahimovs (Tomsk, Russia), Kishore Etwaroo Family (Port Kaituma, Guyana), Carlos & Linda Eguizabal (Juayua & Salcoatitan, El Salvador) & YOU (Huntsville Area)

SYMPATHY

Our sympathy is extended to The Sherrill Family in the passing of Brandon’s grandmother, Mildred Evans, last week. Please keep the family in your prayers.

THANK YOU

Blessed are the giver; and grateful are the receivers. To all the wonderful men who gave their time to come to Lee Strickland’s home to stay with him all night we thank you. God bless all of you for helping so much. Please continue to pray for him and possibly come for a short time to pray or visit with him.                                                                       

In Christ’s Love,

Carolyn Atnip and Christy Williams
